CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation in part, of U.S. application Ser. No. 938,308, filed Dec. 5, 1986, now abandoned and U.S. application Ser. No. 188,873 filed May 2, 1988, now abandoned.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to glucopyranose derivatives.

More particularly, this invention relates to

(1) novel glucopyranose derivatives (compounds);

(2) processes for their preparation; and

(3) immunity-enhancing agents and/or anti-tumor agents containing as active ingredient the present derivatives.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Gram-negative germs (e.g. cholera germs, salmonella germs, colon bacillus) have compounds known as lipopolysaccharides (abbreviated as LPS) on the outer cell membrane, and it was thought that such compounds induced endotoxin shock.

It was known that LPS have various bioactivities including fetal toxicity; this is why it is so named an endotoxin. For example, LPS have a pyrogenetic action, a hemorrhage action, can induce encephalomyelitis, arthritis, and have a blastogenic action (macrophage activating action, B cell mitogenic activity, producing action of non-specific antibody, enhancing activity of cellular immunity etc.) and anti-tumor action (INF (interferon) inducing action, TNF (tumor necrosis factor) inducing action etc.).

Especially, LPS is effective as a non-specific immunity agent, and has an action inducing hemorrhage necrosis of tumor cells specifically by its TNF inducing activity, and therefore can be useful as an anti-tumor agent.

LPS is also useful for its inducing activity of IL-1 (interleukin-1) or interferon, not only enhancing its activity of cellular immunity but also stimulating of NK (natural killer) activity.

On the other hand, LPS is constituted from three kinds of materials, i.e. acidic protein, macromolecular polysaccharides and phospholipid, and the phospholipid but has been found as its active site by Westphal, Ludertz et al. ##STR2##

The phospholipid shown above is called lipid A, and it was known that lipid A alone possesses various activities like LPS.

The absolute structure of lipid A was unknown for many years, but recent studies have made clear that its structure is a disaccharideamine combined with fatty acids and phosphoric acids as shown below. See Nippon Saikin-gaku Zasshi 40(1), 57 (1985) and Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 80, 4624 (1983): ##STR3##

As a result of these recent studies, it has been discovered that each subunit above possesses activities like lipid A. In particularly, the reducing subunit was isolated as a biosynthesis precursor and was named lipid X. See Biol. Chem., 256, 10690 (1981) and Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 80, 4624 (1983).

Futher, a compound combined with a hexadecanoyl group on the hydroxy group of the β-hydroxytetradecanoyl group on the 2nd position of lipid X as ester is named lipid Y.

Patent applications have been filed on the above lipid A, lipid X and lipid Y by Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. See WO-8404526 or EP-143840.

Non-reducing subunits were not found to be naturally occuring, and some of them were synthesized chemically, i.e. compounds of general formula: ##STR4## Examples are: Compound 1:

R¹ = ##STR5## R² =--H Compound 2:

R¹ =--CO--C₁₃ H₂₇

R² =--PO(OH)₂

Compound 3:

R^(A) 1= ##STR6## R² =--PO(OH)₂ See Agric. Biol. Chem., 48(1), 251 (1984) and FEBS LETT., 167, 226 (1984).

Patent applications relating to the above compounds have been published. See Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-126093 and 61-126094.

Further, compounds replacing the hydroxy group on the 1st position with a hydrogen atom has benn described, i.e. compounds of general formula: ##STR7## wherein A represents O or NH, R^(2') represents C₁₄ or C₁₄ -O-C₁₄, R^(3') and R4' represent a hydrogen atom or P, C₁₄ represents a tetradecanoyl group, C₁₄ -O-C₁₄ represents a (3-tetradecanoyl)-tetradecanoyl group, and P represents a phosphoryl group, respectively. Stereo configuration of AR^(2') on the 3rd position is α-configuration or β-configuration. See Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-172867.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

We, the present inventors, succeeded in synthesizing novel compounds by introducing the following chemical modifications into a non-reducing subunit:

(1) conversion of the phosphoric acid residue on the 4th position into a sulfuric acid residue,

(2) introduction an aryl group (benzene ring or naphthalene ring) into the terminal of the acyl chain on the 2nd and 3rd positions,

(3) conversion of the hydroxy group on the 1st position into a hydrogen atom in some compounds,

(4) conversion of the hydroxymethyl group on the 5-position into a methyl group, hydrogen atom or a sulfoxymethyl group (--CH₂ OSO₃ H) in some compounds, and we confirmed that these novel compounds possess excellent pharmacological activities like lipid-A. The present invention was thus achieved.

Such a reaction procedure is well known, and may be carried out, for example, in the presence of a tertiary amine (pyridine, triethylamine etc), in an inert organic solvent (THF, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate etc.) or in the absence of a solvent, using a sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex, at a temperature of from -10° C. to 60° C.

The reaction using the compound of the general formula (III) wherein R is a hydroxy group leads to the production of small amounts of by-product in which the sulfoxy groups are introduced at 1-position as well as at the 4-position. The by-product may be removed by purification described hereinafter.

Among the compounds of the general formula (II) and (III), compounds wherein R is a hydroxy group, of general formula (IIa) and (IIIa) may be prepared by the series of reaction steps described in the following scheme (A). ##STR24##

By conversion into salts, solubility of the compounds of the present invention in water can be increased, and therefore this embodiment may be useful for administration as pharmaceuticals.

The compounds of the present invention may easily be converted into corresponding salts by methods known per se, e.g. methods described hereafter.

The salts in the present invention are preferably non-toxic. The non-toxic salts herein referred to mean salts of cations such that the salt is relatively innoxious to the living body (animals including human beings) tissues and that the effective pharmacological properties of the compounds of general formulae (I) and (IA) are not impaired by side effect(s) resulting from the cations when used in an amount required for the prevention and/or treatment of the desired conditions.

Amines suitable for forming such salts with a sulfo group are well known and include, for example, those amines which are theoretically obtained by substituting one or more of hydrogen atom(s) of ammonia by other group(s). These groups, which may be the same or different when one or more hydrogen atom(s) are substituted, are selected from, for example, alkyl group(s) of from 1 to 6 carbon atom(s) and hydroxyalkyl group(s) of from 1 to 3 carbon atom(s). Suitable non-toxic amine salts include salts of a tetraalkylammonium group, such as tetramethylammonium salt and salts of an organic amine, such as methylamine, dimethylamine, cyclopentylamine, benzylamine, phenthylamine, piperidine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, lysine and arginine.

Salts are obtained from the compounds of the present invention of general formulae (I) and (IA), by methods known per se, for example, by reacting a compound of the general formula (I) or (IA) and a suitable base such as a hydroxide or carbonate of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, ammonium hydroxide, ammonia or an organic amine in theoretical amounts in an appropriate solvent.

The salts can be isolated by freeze-drying the solution, or by filtration if salts are sufficiently insoluble to the reaction solution, or if necessary, by removing part of the solvent followed by filtration.

Mitogenic activity means activity of activating mitogenic cell division, and in this test system, the amount of tymidine taken into lympha cells was measured and a ratio determined against a blank control call (Blastogenic index) was calculated.

For example, adding the compound prepared in example 1(c) to the test system induced 30 times the amount of tymidine taken into the lympha cells versus the control.

The amounts were measured by density of a radiolabel.

Mytogenic activity in vitro was measured by the following method (See Procedure Method of Immunoexperiment pp 315 published by Japan Immunology Society).

C3H/He male mice 6 weeks old were killed by bloodletting, and their spleens were isolated and homogenized. Homogenizing liquids were filtered with gauze, and suspending cells were prepared with PBS solution. After washing, lymphacytes fractions were gathered with lympholight M. Lymphacytes were suspended in RPMI 1640 cultivation solution (10% FEBS), and the solution was divided into 5×10⁵ cells/180 μl/wells. Ten times concentration of the terminal concentration (1 μg/ml) of the compounds of the present invention were added with 20 μl portions to each of the wells.

In an atmosphere of a mixed gas of 5% CO₂ -95% O₂, the cells were cultivated for 24 hrs at 37° C. After cultivation, ³ H-tymidine 0.5 μCi/20 μl was added to the each cells. Cultivation was continued at 37° C. for another 24 hrs, and amounts of ³ H-tymidine taken into the cells were measured. Mitogenic activities were calculated as by Blastogenic index in as follows. ##EQU1##

From the above results, compounds of example No. 1(1) and 1(t) at the dose of 3 mg/body on Day 14 (4 day after administration) exhibit a significant effect on tumor regression.

For the treatment of immuno deficiencies or tumor, the compounds of the present invention of general formulae (I) and (IA) or non-toxic salts thereof may normally be administered systemically or partially; usually by oral or parenteral administration.

The doses to be administered are determined depending upon age, body weight, symptoms, the desired therapeutic effect, the route of administration, and the duration of the treatment etc. In the human adult, the doses per person per dose are generally between 0.1 mg and 100 mg, by oral administration, up to several times per day, and between 10 μg and 10 mg, by parenteral administration to several times per day.

As mentioned above, the doses to be used depend upon various conditions. Therefore, there are cases in which doses lower than or greater than the ranges specified above may be used.

Solid compositions according to the present invention for oral administration include compressed tablets, dispersible powders and granules. In such solid compositions, one or more of the active compound(s) is or are, admixed with at least one inert diluent such as lactose, mannitol, glucose, hydroxypropylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or magnesium metasilicate aluminate. The compositions may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents e.g. lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, disintegrating agents such as cellulose calcium gluconate, and assistant for dissolving e.g. arginine, glutamic acid or amino-acid such as aspartic acid. The tablets or pills may, if desired, be made into gastric film-coated or enteric film-coated tablets or pills, such as sugar-coated, gelatin-coated, hydroxypropyl cellulose-coated or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose phthalate-coated tablets or pills and, two or more of layers may be used. The compositions for oral administration also include capsules of absorbable material such as gelatin.

Liquid compositions for oral administration include pharmaceutically-acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art such as distilled water or ethanol.

EXAMPLE 3 Synthesis of .Iadd.salt form of .Iaddend.2-deoxy-2-[3-(9-phenylnonanoyl)oxytetradecanoyl]amino-3-O-(9-phenylnonanoyl)-4-O-sulfo-1,5-anhydro-D-xylitol ##STR386##

The mixture of a crude products (200 mg) prepared in reference example 23, sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex (144 mg) and pyridine (8 ml) was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature.

After reaction, pyridine was separated as the toluene azeotrope. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica-gel (CH₂ Cl₂ :CH₃ OH=10:1) to give the title compound (more polar; 180 mg) having the following physical data.[.:.]..Iadd.. The title compound was obtained in the pyridine salt form, but a part of the pyridine salt was converted into a mixture of calcium, sodium and magnesium salts by salt-exchanging with calcium, sodium and magnesium ions which were present in the silica gel as impurities. .Iaddend.

EXAMPLE 4 Synthesis of .Iadd.salt form of .Iaddend.2-deoxy-2-(3,4-didecyloxybenzoyl)amino-3-O-tetradecanoyl-4-O-sulfo-D-glycopyranose ##STR409##

The crude products prepared in reference example 24(a) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of acetic acid (10 ml), THF (10 ml) and water (5 ml), and stirred for 30 minutes at 50° C. After reaction, the reaction solution was evaporated, and acetic acid was separated as the toluene azeotrope.

Further, the reaction solution was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica-gel (CH₂ Cl₂ :CH₃ OH=20:3). To the compound obtained, dry dioxan was added, and the solution was freeze-dried to give the title compound (261 mg) having the following physical data.[.:.]..Iadd.. The title compound was obtained in the pyridine salt form, but a part of the pyridine salt was converted into a mixture of calcium, sodium and magnesium salts by salt-exchanging with calcium, sodium and magnesium ions which were present in the silica gel as impurities. .Iaddend.
